Siegfried Berisch

Very little is known about the actor Siegfried Berisch. He started out performing in the cabaret and German Jewish theater scenes in Berlin and Vienna. Berisch’s first major role was in Schmidt will nicht heiraten (Schmidt Does Not Wish to Marry, 1910) and his film debut was in Aus eines Mannes Mädchenzeit (From a Man’s Girlhood, 1913). He starred in more than a dozen silent films through 1929 and a handful of talkies and musicals before he died in Vienna.
